Last Saturday morning found eight of the Tambonians tossing about on Lake King on their way to Paynesville. With a strong breeze and a fine day the run across was most enjoyable. After inspecting the new steamer in course of construction, and a short adjournment to Mr. L. N. Day's Paynesville Hotel, a walk of a quarter of a mile brought us to the convincing ground, where the majority of the Paynesville cricketers were ready to recelve us.

: THE VICTORIAN MONEY MARKET. The publication of tile quarterly returns of the Victorian banks affords (tie Age avers) striking evidence of the general business activity that has marked the past six months. The total increase of advances as compared with those made during 1880 amounts to no lees than £4,74t,418, whilst the deposits in the associated banks are larger by £3,179,208. The active factor in bringing abdut this state of affairs may be traced to the introduction of a large amount of capital from outside. Trade and business in all its branches has been stimulated by a supply of money, the absence of whlich in the past Ias materially prejudiced our progress. Again, the com petition of the various loan and mortgage companies has tended to cheapen money all round, and the fact that the associated banks no longer possess the monopoly of the lend ing market has conduced to freer action, by relieving borrowers of what up to the present has been a well known dread-namely, being sud...

EUROPEAN ITEMIS. The agitation still proceeds in Russia for the encouragement of the Austrian ?iisurgents in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and as a consequence the relations be-" . tween Austria and Russia continue of a most strained character.

'A woman named Furnieux has been arrested in Birmingham on a charge of having obtained £20,000 by fraud and forgery.' She is accused of having per sonated for some time Lord Arthur Pelham Clinton.

INTERCOLONIAL CRICKET MATCH. The cricket match between New South Wales and Victoria, which was com menced at Sydney last Friday; has proved the most extraordinary inter colonial contest which has yet taken place, and will in the future be referred to as the "match of big scores." 'When the stumps were drawn on Friday even ing, New South Wales, who went first to the w:cket, had only harl three of her men sent to the righlabout, and the eleven had the very fine score of 351 to their credit. On Saturday night, how ever, astonishment increased when it was ascertained that only six tmen had been disposed for 640 runs, and it be came a source of conjecture as to whether they would reach a " thou". before the last wicket fell, but 775 proved the total, and a thumping score too for Victoria to face, Murdech 321, and Garrett 163 being the highest scorers. On Monday night the Victorians had lost six wickets for 207--quite a hopeful state of affairs, but for the great score on the other side, ...

P. C. BUCKLEY'S WILL FOUND. The affairs of the late P. C. Blickley appear to be Iassing into a still more sensational stage, and it seems likely that thie supposed imposter Meagher will have his btona ides as the legitimate legatee vindicated. Tuesday's AqrgIL says :--" The litigation ill reference to the roperty of the late Patrick Coady, or Patrick Coady Buckler, promises, it would seem, to be almost endless.. Buckley died about 10 years ugo. leaving a considerabl amount of real and personal propcrt ite GOippsland, anad, so far as was then known ; thercoweie no relatives surviring, and no will could be found.

ORIIGINAL CORIRESPONIJECE. A REPLY TO PRESBYTERIAN. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE ADVERTISER. Sir,-I regret that your correspondent " A Presbyterian," should have so utterly mis understood the language of my friend, Dr. INadonald, as he has done. ae did not speak at all of the state of society as it was nfetre but as it was after the opening of the goldfields, and "within his own recollection," dlating back to nearly 30 years ago; and I, for one, who have been in the colony 28 years, can testify that in those early days there were vices indulged and crimes committed as gross as those attributed to Sodom. Further, Ihe said not one word calculated to lead his undience to imagine that he was glorifying Iimself and his fellowlaborers in respect of Ihe moral improvement in society. lie, and I, and every Christian give all the glory to God. In respect to Bnirnsdale, he said no hting of his being "informed" as to its reli gious state. So far from this, he statid ex pressly and explicitly that ihe ...

SPORTING NOTES. (BY ARCmMEDES.)) I perceive that Mr. George Davis has written to " Plenipo" stating that AMr. Byron Moore has informed him that no fear need bd entertained that the horses running at Maifra will come under the ban of. disqualification at all meetings under the V.R.G. rules, in consequence of the programne not appearing in the " Racing Calendar" before the meeting comes off. It is a pity Mr. Davis is so meagre in his remarks, and does not give full publicity to the circumntances under which the ban of disqualifcation will be removed in this instance. The arbitrary rule passed by the T.R.C., compelling all programmes to appear in the "' Calendar," means;e it i means anything, that the programme must ap pear in the " Clelldar" before the lmeet ings take place, and so there must be a particular reason why an exception is made in favorof MfITra. According to one authority it. is presumed to be suf ficient if the results of the various races appear in teo " Calendar," but ...
